MAGISTRATES, FEES.
A Plain Law Plainly Stated-The
Solicitors Position Good Law.

Editor Morning NelcS: 1t seems to me
that, referring to the question at issue be-
tween the Solicitor and the magistrates,
the law is TOO plain to need the opinion of
prominent or learned counsel. 1t is
constitutional provision, and reads thus:
No person shall be compelled to pay costs,
except after conviction on final trial. Code
of Georgia, section 50O2)
This is too plain to need construction.
The drawing OF bonds Is not included IN
costs and, therefore, to my mind, If the
defendant desires the magistrate TO draw
the bonds, the latter has the right to charge
a reasonable fee for doing so. But he can
not claim the RANT OF drawing the bonds;
the defendant may draw them himself or
employ lawyer to do so, in which case
the magistrate can make no charge for
them.
AS to the right of magistrates to discon-
tinue or to settle criminal proceedings, 1
can lind no such privilege vested IN theG.
1t is entirely the prerogative Of the Solicit
tor, and even he has no power to not. pros.
felonies except with the sanction OF the
judge of the Superior Court.
Apropos OF this, refer to a we'll known
auecdote of Chief Justice Holt. A man
mad been arrested ana sent TO prison for
preaching in the streets of London, which
was forbidden by Jaw. Iao next morn.
ing one of the prisoners fellow zeal0ts
y Sited on the Chief Justice ana the fol-
lowing conversation ensued:
II come" said the visitor. with a
message from the Lord unto tnee!"
"W hat says the Lord?" asked his lord
ship.
The Lord commands thee, through me,
that thou shalt forthwith release from
prison and stop proceedings against Ills
faithful servant, John DobDs, whom thou
| mast imprisoned for preaching His word"
Thou art liar and q kpaYe," an
swered the Chief Justice, "fOr the Lord is
! TOO good Il lawyer not to know that the
power to not. pros. the case is in the
| province of the Crowns Attorney. and
not mine'' LAWYER.
